5G smartphone sales predicted to spike even higher when Apple rolls out the iPhone 12 — Apple World Today

5G smartphone sales accounted for 14% of total US sales in August, up from just 3% in January 2020, according to Counterpoint’s latest North America Channel Share Tracker research. And sales will likely spike even higher in quarter four when Apple launches its latest iPhone 12 line-up with 5G, adds the research group.

Despite the COVID-19 impact on both supply and demand, consumers have shown increased interest in 5G devices as they continue to move down price tiers.
